About Winery
Founded in 1872 in Morey-Saint-Denis, Burgundy, by William Ponsot, Domaine Ponsot is a historic, family-run winery renowned for pioneering estate bottling in 1934 and producing prestigious Pinot Noir and Aligoté (specifically Clos des Monts Luisants). The estate is celebrated for its traditional, low-intervention methods, featuring long-lived wines, and was significantly shaped by Hippolyte Ponsot and later, Laurent Ponsot, before being managed by Rose-Marie Ponsot.
About Winery
Domaine Ponsot is a family-owned wine producer in Burgundy. It is known for its red and white wines made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but is also well-known for the Morey-Saint-Denis Premier Cru Clos des Monts Luisants, the only 100-percent Aligoté premier cru wine in Burgundy.
The domaine was founded in 1872 by the Ponsot family in Morey-Saint-Denis. Most of the domaine's holdings are in grand cru and premier cru vineyards, and Ponsot makes wines from such famous vineyards as Clos de la Roche, Clos de Vougeot and Corton.
Unlike most Burgundy houses, Domaine Ponsot does not make regional wines under the Bourgogne title. It also manages its vineyards and wineries differently to other producers in Burgundy. There are no sorting tables – bunch management is done in the vineyard. The wines go through uncontrolled ferments, and are not filtered or fined.
The domaine gained notoriety when it was embroiled in the widespread wine fraud of counterfeiter Rudy Kurniawan. In 2008, owner Laurent Ponsot was sent an auction list that included some old vintages of Ponsot wines. Some of these were wines that had never been produced, and suspecting counterfeit, asked that these wines were withdrawn from the auction. Since then, Ponsot has looked into various counterfeiting measures, and in 2009, the bottles were fingerprinted with unique bubble codes that were impossible to reproduce.

Tasting Notes
Domaine Sébastien Dampt Chablis opens with fresh aromas of lemon, lime, and green apple, layered with chalky minerality and subtle flint. On the palate, it is fully dry, taut, and mouth-watering, with crisp acidity that enhances its citrus and orchard fruit flavors. The texture is super-dry yet balanced, making it refreshing and moreish, while the finish is clean, saline, and persistent—an elegant example of unoaked Chablis that highlights purity and terroir.
About Winery
Domaine Sébastien Dampt was founded in 2007 in Milly, near Chablis, by Sébastien Dampt, son of Daniel Dampt and grandson of Jean Defaix, continuing a family winemaking tradition spanning over 150 years. He began with just 6 hectares, producing Petit Chablis, Chablis, and several Premier Crus including Vaillons, Côte de Léchet, and Les Beugnons. Known for his focus on terroir expression, Sébastien uses stainless steel and concrete egg fermenters to highlight minerality while avoiding heavy oak influence.

The finish is long, sappy, and saline, making it both refreshing in youth and structured enough to age gracefully for 10–15 years.
